The study was conducted using sample of 15 EFL teachers and 55 EFL students selected through comprehensive sampling technique. To collect the required data for the study questionnaire, interview and classroom observation were used as an instrument. The research design employed in the study was descriptive survey research design. As a result, the data gathered using the instruments were analyzed through both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The findings of the study indicated that although teachers have good awareness on action research there were problems in actual practice in the EFL classroom so as to improve classroom teaching. In addition, it was found that lack of training, budget and lack of collaboration of the college with various stakeholders were among the major factors identified. Based on the findings it was recommended that teachers should keep on developing their awareness on action research using different sources. Next, it was recommended that teachers should give attention for the actual practice of action research in EFL classes. Furthermore, it is suggested that the college should work in collaboration with various stake holders in the region to enhance the practice of action research projects in the college.
